Get The Perfect Smile
Flash 'em one that will brighten up their day.
| Say Cheese! |
| For photo ops—or any other time of the day—just think happy thoughts so your smile really lights up your eyes. |
| For a natural-looking smile, take a cue from professional models: Close your eyes, and flip them open just before you have your photo snapped. Also, inhale just before the click and slowly exhale through your mouth while saying the letter “a” for a relaxed, full smile. |
| TOOLS TO TRY | |
| Before brushing,
rinse your mouth with water or gargle with a mouthwash to
loosen plaque or food caught between your teeth.
Always floss before brushing to remove particles embedded in hard-to-reach crevices. (Brushing can push food even deeper into the spaces between your teeth.) Pick a good toothbrush with soft bristles and a small head. One that makes it easy to |
clean at all angles is ideal.
More expensive toothbrushes tend to be worth it as they
cover all these bases.
When buying toothpaste, keep in mind that paste formulations contain more fluoride (which helps care for your teeth), while gel types focus more on giving you a clean mouth and fresh breath. Dentists recommend Sensodyne toothpaste for those with extra sensitive teeth or gums. |
